Single Point Load Cells
Single point load cells are a staple of the load cell industry. Seen most often in bathroom, bench, and small platform scales, single point load cells excel in their ability to accurately weigh in applications in which products may be placed anywhere in a relatively large platform area. This insensitivity to off-center loads is a capability known as moment compensation. A single cell can accurately weigh an area much larger than its footprint. This ability to use only one load cell instead of four makes the single point load cell a very economical solution for dozens of applications including but not limited to: Bathroom scales, bench scales, platform scales, hopper and vessel weighing, parts counting, packaging, check-weighing, OEM products, retail scales, conveyor scales, production processes, low-budget applications, and medical scales.

What is a single point load cell?
Single point load cells (platform load cells) are used in conjunction with platforms or frames to measure the weight of components or products placed anywhere on them. Single point load cells can be installed directly onto the platform to measure the vertical forces exerted by each component placed on the platform, but they are more commonly installed below the platform so that all components exert equal loads onto the single point load cell regardless of their position on the platform surface.
